If Washington decides to ban oil imports from Venezuela, it would lose its third major oil supplier in the world.

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump may consider banning oil imports from Venezuela if the country moves forward with its July 30 National Constituent Assembly, the Financial Times reported Tuesday.

A senior White House official said that “all options are on the table” when asked if such a ban was possible. Moreover, Trump’s administration has reportedly not taken a position on whether Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro should be sent into exile.

“We have not made final decisions but we have a pretty good idea of the direction we are heading,” the official added.

The revelation comes a day after Washington issued sanction threats against Caracas.

“If the Maduro regime imposes its Constituent Assembly on July 30, the United States will take strong and swift economic actions,” Trump said in a statement on Monday.

The company became the latest oil giant to leave the Canadian oil sands sector, which is one of the most environmentally damaging forms of oil extraction.

In a major blow to fossil fuel industry lobbyists, Royal Dutch Shell has sold almost all of its Canadian oil sands activities in a US$7.25-billion deal, the Anglo-Dutch energy giant said Thursday, which would result in cutting its debt and reducing involvement in one of the most environmentally damaging forms of fossil-fuel extraction.
